“The danger is high and natural [avalanches] are likely today as well as triggered avalanches. It’s still really active and it’s really dangerous,” Weed said. “Many of the slopes are kind of sitting in a state of balance and you could come along and trigger one pretty easily.”

Naturally occurring avalanches prompted the closure of Logan Canyon on Sunday. Weed said it will take time before the insecure snow stabilizes.

“It’s a gradual stabilization so, it’s really scary to me in that respect in that right now we’re seeing a lot of natural avalanches but then the slopes that didn’t avalanche, boy, a lot of them are ready to go. Right now, today, tomorrow, and the next day, it would be really easy for somebody to trigger a dangerous or deadly avalanche,” Weed said.

Weed estimates the state saw hundreds, if not thousands of avalanches over the weekend.
